Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1197

Chapter 1197

After that, Betty really didn't make a sound.

The man took advantage of this moment and covered her mouth and nose with a cotton cloth soaked in a sleeping drug.

Betty didn't even have a chance to make a sound before passing out.

Then, the man hid with Betty under the bed. He didn't come out until Diana and the others left the room. Unexpectedly, another child had been left behind in the same room.

It was a stroke of luck.

The man grinned. "You're very obedient. You're a good kid."

Also, a bit of a simpleton. He really didn't make a sound when told not to.

Children from these wealthy families were like this. They were overly protected, naive, and utterly foolish!

The little boy in front of him didn't disappoint his expectations.

"Mister, I want to negotiate with you."

Sean calmed himself down, and began negotiating with the man.

"What kind of negotiation?" the man asked.

"Is what you're doing right now called kidnapping?"

The man was momentarily stunned by Sean's question, then burst into laughter.

"Yes. It's kidnapping." He put a finger to his lips. "So you mustn't shout or scream, or my next step will be to kill the hostage I have."

Julian had taught Sean and Betty safety lessons before.

Sean understood immediately.

"Okay, I won't let you do that. I'm scared of that happening."

The man was speechless.

Why did he feel like he was being led around by this little rascal?

Plus, this child was unnervingly calm. He didn't seem entirely naive.

The next moment, his thoughts were uninterrupted as Sean asked again, "Mister, take me with you and leave my sister behind. Does that deal sound good to you?"

He was the older brother.

Moreover...

Julian wasn't as worried about him.

Inheritance had been discussed in the heir's course. It emphasized that inheritance was based on capability, not how much they could flatter their predecessor.

In other words, the one with the ability should be the heir.

However, Sean didn't argue. Judging by the man's attire, he was someone who would say such stereotypical things.

Since he said it like that, it meant that he believed in it.

Sean felt relieved instead, and no longer suspected any deception. "Okay."

He obediently approached the man. "Put my sister down and take me with you."

The man smiled.

Surprisingly, he actually placed Betty back on the hospital bed. Seeing a glimmer of hope that Betty might be left behind, Sean broke into a genuine smile.

Trading his safety for his sister's was worth it.

Sean laughed, content; it seemed his first negotiation had been successful.

Soon, a piece of cloth covered his mouth and nose. As his consciousness grew heavy, Sean's eyes fluttered open twice. But he saw it clearly: his sister, who had already been set down, was once again hoisted up by the man!

The man had changed his mind.

He intended to take both Sean and Betty with him!
